Hindi is a standarised and Sanskritised register of the Hindustani language. Hindustani is the language of most people living in Delhi, Bihar, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand. The modern standard Hindi language is one of the official languages of the country India. In 1991, 180 million people in the world were speakers of Hindustani Hindi. However, this number included millions of people who were native speakers of related languages but who thought of their speech as a dialect of Hindi.
Bollywood songs are also known as ‘Hindi film songs’. These songs are featured in Bollywood films. Derided in Western film circles for the song-and-dance routine, Bollywood songs, along with dance, are a characteristic motif of Hindi cinema which gives it enduring popular appeal, cultural value and context. Hindi films are very popular in North-India and routinely played in shops, during train journeys and in marketplaces. Hindi film songs presented in 1931 for the first time by Irani. The second person was Madan, he had 42 songs strung together in the manner of an opera, and later by Indra Sabha which had as many as 69 song sequences. However, the practice subsided and subsequent films usually featured between six to ten songs in each production.
The name Bollywood is a combination of Bombay (Mumbai’s old name) and Hollywood and it is often used to summarize all movies produced in India. While Bollywood is the center of the Hindi movie industry, movies are made in other regions and local languages as well. Music has been a part of Indian cinema since the first audio movie. “Alam Ara” included seven songs. The movie “Indra Sabha” from the 1932 included 69 songs. This genre is very popular in Indian countries around the whole world not only in the country India. Don’t forget, Bollywood isn’t Hollywood!
